If you live in Europe and you'd like to help improve MediaWiki's support
for Postgres, please submit a talk about it to the PostgreSQL Conference
Europe. I'll help you write the proposal, if you need help. Call for
proposals: http://2011.pgconf.eu/callforpapers/
The deadline's on 21 August, 2 days from now. I've copied most of the
CfP below.

PostgreSQL Conference Europe 2011 will be held on October 18-21 in the
Casa 400 Hotel in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It will cover topics for
PostgreSQL users, developers and contributors, as well as decision and
policy makers. For more information about the conference, please see the

We are now accepting proposals for talks. Please note that we are
looking for talks in English, Dutch, German and French.
Each session will last 45 minutes, and may be on any topic related to
PostgreSQL. Suggested topic areas include:
* Developing applications for PostgreSQL
* Administering large scale PostgreSQL installations
* Case studies and/or success stories of PostgreSQL deployments
* PostgreSQL tools and utilities
* PostgreSQL hacking
* Community & user groups
* Tuning the server
* Migrating from other systems
* Scaling/replication

* PostgreSQL related products
Of course, we're happy to receive proposals for talks on other
PostgreSQL related topics as well.
We also have a limited number of longer, 90-minute, slots available.
Please indicate clearly in your submission if you wish to make a
90-minute talk.
Finally, there will be a session of five minute lightning talks. A
separate call for proposals will be made for them further on.
The submission deadline is August 21st, 2011. Selected speakers will be
notified before Sep 5th, 2011.
